apt-get install libssl-dev failing

Hi All,

I just recently started with a fresh hardware install of BT5R2. When attempted to apt-get install libssl-dev, I get the following error.

Code:

root@TheRig:/pentest/passwords/mpijohn/src# apt-get install libssl-dev
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libssl-dev: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.6) but 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.8 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Any ideas why this is happening, or what I can do to by pass this. I need this installed for jtr over mpi.

libssl0.9.8 is already the newest version.

Re: apt-get install libssl-dev failing

I too, have the same issue. I have followed many, many different tutorials to get my ATI Radeon processor working with pyrit, however all of them have involved libssl-dev. I'm rather peeved at this too, since I'm only getting 1500 k/s and with pyrit, I should be getting well over 20,000 k/s.

Also having the same problem and other ones:

Re: apt-get install libssl-dev failing

I'm using BT5R2-GNOME-64 release.
I'm trying to run cpyrit and to install it it needs openssl. So I tried to "apt-get install openssl-dev" and "apt-get install libssl-dev". The first command replays with:
